Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: We did it. We made it to a Thursday at
Speaker 2: hour one, Dan and the Dan A's Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 2: Come on in stay a while. Kevin O'Connell, the NFL
Speaker 2: Coach of the Year, the Vikings head coach, will stop
Speaker 2: by a little bit later on. He was voted, I
Speaker 2: don't know how scientific this vote, was the second best
Speaker 2: looking coach in the NFL.
Speaker 3: Yes, both, Well, you said that. I thought you're gonna
Speaker 3: say sexiest coach alive.
Speaker 2: No, well, second best sexiest coach alive. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Now I have an idea. Who is the best looking
Speaker 2: coach in the NFL? Todd, would you like to guess
Speaker 2: who is the best looking?
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 2: Once again, I don't know the results of this, but
Speaker 2: I know that Kevin O'Connell finished second as the best
Speaker 2: looking coach in the NFL.
Speaker 5: Could I get a minute to think about that?
Speaker 2: Okay, Marvin, how about you? Who's your coach?
Speaker 4: Matt Laflor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's the guy. I think that's a
Speaker 2: bloop bloop. Kevin O'Connell's not even the best looking coach
Speaker 2: in his own division, I think is what we're saying.
Speaker 5: Yes, where we put Sean mcvagh, would he be a
Speaker 5: top five?
Speaker 2: Sorry, you can put him in there. Yeah. I don't
Speaker 2: know how you get your beard like that where it
Speaker 2: doesn't get, you know, thicker, it's a you know Don
Speaker 2: Johnson used to do that with Miami Vice, where you
Speaker 2: were like, how does he get it to look like
Speaker 2: that every single day? Yes, Pauline, you get one of.
Speaker 3: Those beard trimmers and put on setting three and just
Speaker 3: do one lap around and it keeps it permanently as
Speaker 3: a four D eight growth.
Speaker 6: Hmmm, he's definitely got one of those.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I could never do that anyway, it wouldn't look good.
Speaker 2: But I always was envious of those guys like Sean McVay.
Speaker 2: It feels like he wakes up with the five o'clock
Speaker 2: shadow and he looks good with it. But we'll talk
Speaker 2: to Kevin O'Connell. Heidi Gardner very talented actress. Saturday Night Live.

Speaker 2: you're not beating Utah at Utah.

Speaker 2: hundred with Luca right now. Todd, you got poll questions today.

Speaker 2: entire day with my wife from morning.
Speaker 6: Mister Love, Yes, doctor Love.

Speaker 2: very little time off. So we're going to take a
Speaker 2: Valentine's Day off and then next week off as well.
Speaker 3: Yes, Paul, quick question for you in the room on
Speaker 3: Valentine's Day? Is a nice dinner out enough or is
Speaker 3: a gift assumed included in the process.
Speaker 2: I think that really has to go with just the
Speaker 2: individual of you've got to I don't think there's a
Speaker 2: universal if you do this or you should should do that.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't. I wouldn't subscribe to that. I would just
Speaker 2: say you probably know what you did before, or maybe
Speaker 2: you need to do a little more this year. Yes, Dodd,
Speaker 2: my watch says at.
Speaker 8: Least and I believe her that she does not want anything.
Speaker 8: And I mean she doesn't want anything, if you know
Speaker 8: what I mean. It's just Friday on the calendar. I
Speaker 8: don'tkay Valentine's Day. It's a man made, made up ben
Speaker 8: cute babies or not.
Speaker 2: Like a present. She just doesn't want your present.
Speaker 6: She doesn't want to unwrap.
Speaker 5: You like to go to bed at eight thirty and
Speaker 5: I'll see you tomorrow and we'll figure out what.
Speaker 2: By the way, it's a meet Thursday, So I said
Speaker 2: to Tyler, let's fire up the triggers. So we got
Speaker 2: smoked ribbis and we had these salt crusted, loaded baked potatoes.
Speaker 2: Who has it better than we do?
Speaker 5: No body?
Speaker 2: Alrighty. This first hour brought to you by Keeper's hard
Speaker 2: new unique style of whiskey that combines the best of
Speaker 2: Irish and American whiskey, creating the smooth character of Irish
Speaker 2: whiskey and the bold flavors of American whiskeys. If you're
Speaker 2: a whiskey fan, try it. Please drink responsibly eight seven
Speaker 2: seven three DP. Show operator Tyler is sitting by to
Speaker 2: take your phone calls. Seaton, Oh, no, Todd your poll questions. Today,
Speaker 2: we'll start with I have here.
Speaker 8: If I only said four Nations and left off the
Speaker 8: face off part, would you know what sport I was
Speaker 8: talking about?
Speaker 5: Absolutely?
Speaker 8: Possibly, no chance four Nations versus four nations face off?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if you're watching ESPN, then you know what
Speaker 2: is happening. And I watch ESPN usually around the horn
Speaker 2: part in the interruption, and I saw the promos there.
Speaker 2: I loved it. I thought it was wonderful. I thought
Speaker 2: there was true excitement for what is deemed their All
Speaker 2: Star weekend. I thought they did a great job. I
Speaker 2: thought it was fun. And I know we keep talking
Speaker 2: about this with the NBA, the United States versus everybody else,
Speaker 2: and the pushback I always get from an NBA anostar
Speaker 2: are there enough talented players from around the world to
Speaker 2: compete with the US team? And I said, well, you
Speaker 2: probably have five of the best seven players who weren't
Speaker 2: from the United States, so that's a good start. But
Speaker 2: you know you got that it meant something. Now, I
Speaker 2: don't know if it's going to mean something to Joker
Speaker 2: to be playing or Yannis. I mean, whoever whoever you
Speaker 2: want to put in there. Are they going to be?
Speaker 2: How excited? How important is this to them? But you know,
Speaker 2: with the Four Nations, I loved it. It was exciting.
Speaker 2: The uniform that Canada Jersey gorge awesome, look like it
Speaker 2: was out of the nineteen twenties, something that Montreal Canadians
Speaker 2: would have worn, but it was gorgeous. So watching that
Speaker 2: it was exciting. And I think anything that you're watching,
Speaker 2: you want to know why am I getting invested if
Speaker 2: you're not? Well, they were invested, and so was. I
Speaker 2: thought it was exciting, So I'm fine with it. I
Speaker 2: knew exactly what it was and it lived up. No,
Speaker 2: it exceeded expectations because they played hard.
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 2: What else?
Speaker 4: Ton?
Speaker 5: Okay, how about this one?
Speaker 4: How would you feel?
Speaker 8: This is Tristan Thompson had a late dunk in the
Speaker 8: Cavs Raptors game in Toronto and that kind of upset
Speaker 8: some of the Raptors players. So my question is, how
Speaker 8: would you feel of your opponent dunked on your team
Speaker 8: in the final seconds of a blowout win. Choices being
Speaker 8: I would be livid and might even getting that player's face.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't appreciate it very much.
Speaker 8: Hope to return the favor though down the road, shrug
Speaker 8: my shoulders and think to myself, was that really necessary?
Speaker 5: Or I wouldn't care at all? We lost? Move on.
Speaker 2: This is really really deep for a meaningless game against
Speaker 2: the Toronto Raptors.
Speaker 8: It's also after the super Bowl in mid February, and
Speaker 8: we could talk about Luca over one and one.
Speaker 5: They're two and one. They're two and three with Luca.
Speaker 5: They're three and four with Luca.
Speaker 2: If you dunked against the Raptors, did it really happen?
Speaker 2: Nobody cares the fact that it's Tristan Thompson. Then I'm
Speaker 2: gonna say, hey, good for him. Now he's still holding
Speaker 2: on for you know who's still in the NBA. I
Speaker 2: had no idea. I thought that this might have been
Speaker 2: his son. Taj Gibson had ten points in the Hornets
Speaker 2: win or a loss against the Magic. He is almost
Speaker 2: forty years of age. I thought that can't be the
Speaker 2: Taj Gibson that I remember, but it is. He is
Speaker 2: the oldest Hornet to record a double double since Robert
Speaker 2: Parrish in nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 4: Whoa stead of.
Speaker 7: A day Stana day Statava day Stan outa day.
Speaker 2: This is the Stan of the day. Who were the
Speaker 2: oldest player. I know, we look at Lebron, but we
Speaker 2: got to take him off the board. But the oldest
Speaker 2: players in the NBA.
Speaker 3: Active players this year, Lebron James is the oldest. Taj
Speaker 3: Gibson at thirty eight. Second, Chris Paul, PJ. Tucker, still
Speaker 3: do it, Jeff Green, m Al Horford, Kyle Lowry, et cetera,
Speaker 3: et cetera.
Speaker 2: No, Taj is thirty nine years, two hundred and thirty
Speaker 2: three days. He's not thirty eight. Oh sorry, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: he's thirty nine going on forty years of a Taj Gibson.
Speaker 2: By the way, I know I focus on Joker when
Speaker 2: he gets his triple doubles. Russell Westbrook Junior, the third
Speaker 2: won an MVP because he averaged a triple double. We
Speaker 2: go back to Oscar Robertson back in what nineteen sixty
Speaker 2: two when he had a triple double, when we didn't
Speaker 2: even know it was a triple double. It was just
Speaker 2: he averaged double figures in three different categories and then
Speaker 2: somebody said that's a triple double. Well, everybody is putting
Speaker 2: up triple doubles. It feels like there have been one
Speaker 2: hundred triple doubles so far this season. That's the second
Speaker 2: time in the last twenty years there have been at
Speaker 2: least one hundred triple doubles prior to the All Star break.
Speaker 2: The only other season that had more was twenty twenty
Speaker 2: one to twenty twenty two, so hasn't been that long
Speaker 2: of a stretch in between. Here, Also, everybody gets thirty points.
Speaker 2: It feels like one hundred and twenty three different players
Speaker 2: have had a thirty point game so far this season.
Speaker 2: Only one other season in NBA history had more. That's
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three season.
Speaker 7: Steat of the day, stat of the day, that past
Speaker 7: stat of the day, stat of the day?
Speaker 5: Here comes that what stat.
Speaker 8: Of the.
Speaker 2: And we suggested this last week. How about we have
Speaker 2: a triple dozen where you have to have at least
Speaker 2: twelve points, twelve rebounds, welve assists. Can we dress it
Speaker 2: up a little bit here, or we make it just
Speaker 2: like Joker does he gets a triple double in three quarters.
Speaker 2: That if you get it in three quarters, then we'll
Speaker 2: count it as a triple double. If you get it
Speaker 2: in four I mean the degree of difficulty of what's
Speaker 2: going on right now. I mean, there are incredible scores.
Speaker 2: I watched the Knicks in the Hawks last time. I
Speaker 2: wish they played once a week. Absolutely, it was great
Speaker 2: back and forth and the Knicks winning that game, although
Speaker 2: I would have thought up six with ten seconds to
Speaker 2: go in regulation. But Trey Young played well, Karl Anthony
Speaker 2: Towns played well, Brunson had a big night. It was
Speaker 2: a lot of fun. But the triple double is kind
Speaker 2: of losing its luster there.
Speaker 9: Yes, Marvin going back to the Knicks, can we apologize
Speaker 9: to Carl Anthony Towns. We've been calling him soft, as
Speaker 9: Jimmy Butler said he was soft.
Speaker 2: Who called it?
Speaker 9: I didn't call him soft, the general I'm not the
Speaker 9: general public. Everyone except Dan Patrick. Yes, I was calling him.
Speaker 2: I just said, he said he's the best shooting big
Speaker 2: men of all time, right he did. Yes he's not.
Speaker 4: He's not.
Speaker 2: But he he's a perimeter big, he's a finesse big man.
Speaker 9: He's a tall man. Yeah, he's not a big man. Yes,
Speaker 9: excuse me. He changed the game, he gained.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So when you say things like that, then people
Speaker 2: that you invite criticism. But I mean, he had what
Speaker 2: forty four last night.
Speaker 10: Yes, Karl Anthony Town's statements about how he changed the
Speaker 10: game are the basketball equivalent of Tommy Shaw saying it
Speaker 10: was Zeppelin Stones sticks.
Speaker 6: What was wrong with that?
Speaker 2: Uh? So you're saying it should have been Zeppelin sticks,
Speaker 2: the sticks and stones right right, exactly exactly. So Tommy
Speaker 2: Shaw lead singer of Sticks, he was a guitar player
Speaker 2: player one of Dennis the Young was the lead singer. Yes,
Speaker 2: Jepeland Stones Sticks. I went to a Braves game with
Speaker 2: Tommy Shaw, of course.
Speaker 4: Awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the yeah Thomas, Yeah, big baseball fan,
Speaker 2: nice guy, but uh yeah, rando, But yeah, I ended
Speaker 2: up going to a baseball game, yes.
Speaker 3: Paul Karl Anthony Town. Though five years ago he was
Speaker 3: averaging twenty seven points and twelve rebounds, and then the
Speaker 3: last two years of Minnesota his rebounds dropped to eight
Speaker 3: point one eight point three, and he started getting the
Speaker 3: rep that we'd seen his best work and he's not
Speaker 3: battling hard by the boards. This year he's up to
Speaker 3: twenty five points per game, thirteen point five rebounds.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and those are great numbers, absolutely, But if you're
Speaker 2: that great, you should put up great numbers. If you
Speaker 2: tell me you're great. I expect you to put up
Speaker 2: great numbers. Carl Anthony Towns. Yeah, Cat, as they like
Speaker 2: to call on Cat. You know, when the timber Will
Speaker 2: made him expendable, nobody was crying out, Like when Luca
Speaker 2: was made expendable by the Dallas Mavericks. It wasn't one
Speaker 2: of those are you're giving up one of those generational
Speaker 2: But if this is the guy who's changed the game
Speaker 2: and the best shooting big man of old time, you
Speaker 2: would have thought there have been a lot of people
Speaker 2: interested in Karl Anthony Towns. Bunny had a big night
Speaker 2: last night, and the Knick's got the win prior to
Speaker 2: the All Star break? What else do you have there?
Speaker 2: You know what, Todd, let me take a break. We
Speaker 2: can do that. We're just getting started. Oh my goodness,
Speaker 2: I just found out from Todd there will be a
Speaker 2: Rhyme Time coming.
Speaker 8: Up, Valentine's Day edition of Rhymetime. Can you only had
Speaker 8: a good idea to when we make it a round
Speaker 8: of can.
Speaker 2: You give the audience just a sample because they're gonna
Speaker 2: have to plan their morning accordingly, we could do that, right, Okay, okay,
Speaker 2: just explain. Give us an example of rhyme time, just
Speaker 2: so people can say, you clear my calendar, Sally, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna be waiting for rhyme time.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna give you two words or phrases, and the
Speaker 8: answers for those clues rhyme with one another.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 8: So for example, we would have money a thing for her, quiet,
Speaker 8: money a thing for her, and that answer would.
Speaker 4: Be hush crush, hush crush, Good job, Seaton.
Speaker 2: See how easy how it is. That's it, that's nailed.
Speaker 2: That's how we rolled today.
Speaker 5: That have seventeen others on this.
Speaker 2: So we've got this show. Okay, just to let the
Speaker 2: audience know, this was a homework assignment that Paulie gave
Speaker 2: to Fritzie about thirty five minutes ago. And you've you
Speaker 2: came up with eighteen of the rhymetime ors.
Speaker 5: So now we're down to seventeen.

Speaker 2: All right, we'll settle on a poll question. We have
Speaker 2: a lot of poll question suggestions from Time continue Todd.
Speaker 8: Which are you least excited about?
Speaker 12: Rich?
Speaker 5: Are you least excited about? NBA All Star Weekend? The
Speaker 5: Daytona five hundred?
Speaker 2: Now, why are we going negative?
Speaker 5: Alex? I'm just giving you a list. You got several choices,
Speaker 5: whether you like it or lump it.
Speaker 8: Alex Bregman from the Astros to the Red Sox, what's
Speaker 8: next for Aaron Rodgers, Travis Kelsey's decision or whether or
Speaker 8: not to retire. A daily update on the Lakers record
Speaker 8: since Luca joined the team? Which are you least excited about?
Speaker 2: I would say Alex Bregman from the Astros to the
Speaker 2: Red Sox because it feels like the last couple of
Speaker 2: months we've been waiting for him and Nolan Aeronato to
Speaker 2: end up with their new teams. So I would say
Speaker 2: I would start with Alex Bregman. Uh, the daily update
Speaker 2: on the Lakers record since Luca got there.
Speaker 5: I think they're one in one right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are Todd. Yeah, that five hundred.
Speaker 5: Since you're gonna be one in two or two and
Speaker 5: one after the next one.
Speaker 2: What's next for Aaron Rodgers Travis's decision. We'll talk about
Speaker 2: that coming up here, because he had some comments on
Speaker 2: his podcast with his brother Yes, Seaton.
Speaker 10: Uh, just so, I just want to make sure that
Speaker 10: I'm hearing this correctly. Did you guys just balk at
Speaker 10: Todd saying something negative?
Speaker 5: Say?
Speaker 1: Whoa, whoa?
Speaker 2: Why are we going negative?
Speaker 8: Hey? To to five hundred? We put auto racing people
Speaker 8: out all the time. What are you getting down on
Speaker 8: auto racing about it?
Speaker 10: No, it's it's just the idea of someone doing something
Speaker 10: negative on the show and being.
Speaker 2: Like, whoa, wait a minute, why are we being negative? Well,
Speaker 2: we tend to do that with Todd. Heaskews negative at
Speaker 2: leat once a day, So that was my once a
Speaker 2: day todd skewing Nate.
Speaker 5: We have Dreeddy Hamlin on in twenty sixteen. What are
Speaker 5: you guys talking about it?
Speaker 2: True?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Paul, But the Daytona five hundred is a standalone event.
Speaker 3: It's fantastic. We may not cover it and break it
Speaker 3: down lap by lap, but a great American event.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would probably remove that. The other one seemed
Speaker 2: to be like, okay, although Travis Kelsey's decision on whether
Speaker 2: or not to retire, I well, okay, I'll play the
Speaker 2: comments he's on with his brother New Heights podcast, and
Speaker 2: I know he just launch the Super Bowl, but it
Speaker 2: certainly sounds like there's a whole lot more attached to this.
Speaker 13: As you see yourself or not feel yourself have the
Speaker 13: success that you once used to have.
Speaker 4: Man, it's a tough pill to swallow.
Speaker 13: And then on top of that, to not be there
Speaker 13: in the biggest moments knowing your team's counting on you. Man,
Speaker 13: that those are all extremely hard things to It's just
Speaker 13: a tough reality. I think I could play. It's just
Speaker 13: whether or not it's I'm motivated or it's the best
Speaker 13: decision for me as a as a as a man,
Speaker 13: as a human, as as a person to take on
Speaker 13: all that responsibility.
Speaker 2: And he talked about how he plays extra games, usually
Speaker 2: three extra games than anybody else because they're playing in
Speaker 2: the playoffs and then the Super Bowl. And you might
Speaker 2: be surprised to learn that he had ninety seven catches
Speaker 2: this year. Now, these are all short passes, so he
Speaker 2: was getting fifty one yards per game, so eight and
Speaker 2: a half yards per catch. He's moving the chains. In
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, he had one hundred and ten catches.
Speaker 2: He averaged twelve point two yards per catch, seventy nine
Speaker 2: yards per game. Here's another thing to keep in mind.
Speaker 2: He gets a lot of targets. So his catch percentage
Speaker 2: is seventy three percent this year. It was seventy three
Speaker 2: percent two years ago. He's doing the job, but we
Speaker 2: see him doing the job, not at the level that
Speaker 2: we expect him to do the job. From the naked eye,
Speaker 2: you might look and go all he's still Travis Kelson.
Speaker 2: You can see a decline. I mean it's there to
Speaker 2: be seen. It's there to be seen if you want
Speaker 2: to see it, and sometimes player might not see it.
Speaker 2: Or is Patrick Mahomes going to say anything? Would Andy
Speaker 2: Reid say something? He's owed nineteen million dollars if they
Speaker 2: happened to let him go he retires. I think it's
Speaker 2: a two million dollar salary cap hit. Could they restructure
Speaker 2: contracts with Mahomes and Chris Jones to keep him? How
Speaker 2: important is it to keeping him because that's Patrick Mahomes's guy.
Speaker 2: Mahomes shows up every day. He's got that guy. All
Speaker 2: the stuff that Mahomes goes through, whether it's on the
Speaker 2: field off the field, he's got that guy. How important
Speaker 2: is he? Can you use him like the Patriots did
Speaker 2: Gronk later in his career, where basically it was just
Speaker 2: Dronk stay ready for the playoffs. But that sounded like,
Speaker 2: and I've always said this, if you start talking about retiring,
Speaker 2: then you're retiring or you should retire. But this is
Speaker 2: right after the Super Bowl that he's saying this. If
Speaker 2: you talk to him and your body adjusts to the
Speaker 2: time of the year, so he'll get to that point
Speaker 2: where it's like, this is when I normally work out,
Speaker 2: or this is where it's gonna be OTAs, this is
Speaker 2: where it's going to be training cap you get ready
Speaker 2: for that, your body's ready for that. That's when I
Speaker 2: think he's going to really realize, do I want to
Speaker 2: do this? Got a lot of money from his podcast,
Speaker 2: He's made a lot of money. He's a first ballot
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer by all accounts. He's in love. Maybe
Speaker 2: he doesn't want to wear and tear on his body anymore,
Speaker 2: but that's right now. But I wouldn't have been surprised.
Speaker 2: Now I know why he said, Hey, I'm going to
Speaker 2: play three more years prior to the super Bowl, Because
Speaker 2: if he says when the game is over, then I'll
Speaker 2: make that decision, then it becomes a little bit more
Speaker 2: about Travis Kelsey. I think he was trying to make
Speaker 2: this about the Kansas City Chiefs versus the Eagles, because
Speaker 2: everything that he does is magnified. What he wears when
Speaker 2: he goes to the game, is she going to be there?
Speaker 2: What comments? Does he go to one of her concerts?
Speaker 2: She goes to his game? So there's always going to
Speaker 2: be a storyline there, and I think he was trying
Speaker 2: to at least put off another storyline of his future.
Speaker 2: Do I think that he will retire?
Speaker 4: I do?
Speaker 2: I do. You can hear it in his voice, and
Speaker 2: it's tough to get to that point where you're honest
Speaker 2: with yourself because he might say, man, I had ninety
Speaker 2: seven catches, Why would I retire? I got the best quarterback?
Speaker 2: Why would I do that? Well, what they go through
Speaker 2: to get ready for that next year, and at that age,
Speaker 2: at that position, even though you got a great coach
Speaker 2: and a great quarterback, you get to that point where
Speaker 2: you go there, there's other things that I want to do.
Speaker 2: He's going to have a broadcasting career. Mothership will probably
Speaker 2: try to bring him in and pair him with his brother.
Speaker 2: They got their podcast, and he's got a girlfriend. Yeah see, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 10: It certainly is a far cry from the guy pre
Speaker 10: Super Bowl who was like, now I'm gonna be right here, baby,
Speaker 10: I'm playing you know that the way he does things.
Speaker 10: But right, ninety seven catches. But it is the second
Speaker 10: year in a row that he's under a thousand yards,
Speaker 10: So I'm sure that there's when he looks at those numbers.
Speaker 10: You can look at them and be like, no, that's
Speaker 10: still really good or not my level. You know, you
Speaker 10: can cut them either.
Speaker 2: Way you want.
Speaker 10: Those aren't bad numbers, right but for him, but he
Speaker 10: looks at them as like, that's not it. I'm four
Speaker 10: hundred yards off of what I should be.
Speaker 2: And the thing that I didn't see is any explosive plays.
Speaker 2: I think if you asked the Eagles privately, their defense
Speaker 2: wasn't worried about him because everything was going to be
Speaker 2: right in front of you. He's not going to beat you,
Speaker 2: he's not going to get behind you. But he's a
Speaker 2: still a clutch receiver, But do you want to spend
Speaker 2: nineteen million dollars on a clutch receiver? And this might
Speaker 2: be one of those moments with the Kansas City Chiefs
Speaker 2: where you've got to make some hard decisions this offseason.
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes may say to Andy Reid, who I thought
Speaker 2: had a bad Super Bowl with his play calling and
Speaker 2: lack of adjustments. He may say to Andy Reid in
Speaker 2: the front office, you got to help me a little
Speaker 2: bit here. The dink and dunk is fine. You know,
Speaker 2: we got a couple of good running backs, but I
Speaker 2: need something. Xavier Worthy is a fast kid, but I
Speaker 2: got to have some I gotta have some quality weapons here.
Speaker 2: And I don't know if you could say, hey, are
Speaker 2: we interested in Devonte Adams? Would you bring Tyreek Hill back?
Speaker 2: But you know, Mahomes has kind of suppressed this. I
Speaker 2: feel like because they're winning, he's not putting up great numbers.
Speaker 2: His numbers are, you know, a little better than average.
Speaker 2: Really during the regular season, we know what he is
Speaker 2: in the postseason. We can never take that away from him.
Speaker 2: But I think I think it was really difficult for
Speaker 2: them to be as good as they were record wise,
Speaker 2: when it felt like they had to scrape and scrap
Speaker 2: and it was down to every I mean, after a while,
Speaker 2: if you're a quarterback, you go, man. I'd like to
Speaker 2: have maybe a blowout here. Occasionally they're not blowing people out.
Speaker 2: They don't score like they used to, and I think
Speaker 2: that has to wear on Patrick Mahomes. It would me
Speaker 2: because if I got an offense genius as my head coach,
Speaker 2: let's go. I need some help here. I mean, Kareem Hunt,
Speaker 2: you got him, Isaiah Pajeco is a seventh round draft pick.
Speaker 2: Worthy you got and you trade it up for. But
Speaker 2: do you have I mean Hollywood Brown? He makes it work.
Speaker 2: But I think it's one of those where he is
Speaker 2: paddling his butt off underneath the water. It's like, look
Speaker 2: at that man, that swan is looking pretty yeah, and
Speaker 2: he's like yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 3: I'm really curious with Travis Kelcey and his marketing business team.
Speaker 3: Do they look at keep going to keep his brand
Speaker 3: out there or get out now when there's he must
Speaker 3: have truckloads of opportunities that he passes on. His brother
Speaker 3: probably left a year early because he couldn't pass on
Speaker 3: those level of post career jobs. I'm curious which way
Speaker 3: they lean, But.
Speaker 2: I don't think playing does anything to his brand. Probably helps,
Speaker 2: I don't think so, because he's not there's nothing about
Speaker 2: him that I mean, he's on the team, but you're
Speaker 2: not going, man, that guy's unbelievable. I mean, you don't.
Speaker 2: There are times when you don't even know he's playing
Speaker 2: or mentioned his name. Like his brand is really his
Speaker 2: podcast and Taylor Swift, that's that's his brand right now.
Speaker 2: But if you have deals out there, he's already made
Speaker 2: commercials that podcast. They I think it was one hundred
Speaker 2: million dollars that it was sold for. You got, you know,
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift. If you're want to commit to that relationship,
Speaker 2: I mean, he might be an old thirty five get
Speaker 2: banged up. You know, that's a lot of postseason games
Speaker 2: you're playing in. You know, like Lebron, Lebron's played a
Speaker 2: couple of seasons. So when we look at Lebron, add
Speaker 2: a couple more seasons to that because he's played a
Speaker 2: couple of regular you know, the total of postseason games
Speaker 2: is a couple of regular seasons he's played like twenty
Speaker 2: four years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Pauline, Lebron has played twenty two regular seasons and
Speaker 3: he played quite a few games. He's played two hundred
Speaker 3: and eighty seven playoff games. That's just less than three. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's almost four seasons of basketball. And those are high
Speaker 3: minute games, higher minute games.
Speaker 2: Stat of the.
Speaker 7: Days day, stat of the day, stat of the day,
Speaker 7: here comes that, what stat of the day?
Speaker 2: Lebron's going to have over three hundred playoff games when
Speaker 2: it's all said and done, So three seasons of playoff games,
Speaker 2: three regular season games that you know he's done in
Speaker 2: the postseason. I mean, that's his numbers are mind boggling, though,
Speaker 2: when you consider to be playing at that kind of
Speaker 2: level at this age, with all the wear and tear
Speaker 2: on his body, and he took great pride in playing games.
Speaker 9: Yes, Martin, Now if they keep losing to the Jazz,
Speaker 9: well you don't beat Utah and Utah, Marvin sure don't.
Speaker 9: So you watch your mouth there, you want your mouth.
Speaker 2: Marketing's house, Hey, Lauri Martin, I know I thought Lauri
Speaker 2: Marketing was gonna end up with Golden State.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 2: He's a good player. He's a good player. But I
Speaker 2: probably would have rented if I was Lori Marketing, you know,
Speaker 2: because it feels like, hey, don't get too good man.
Speaker 2: We're trying to tank here. We want Cooper flag. What
Speaker 2: are you doing? He's a good player.
Speaker 3: Uh yes, if he was Larry Marketing and he was
Speaker 3: from America who had never been drafted.
Speaker 2: Though, that's true.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, Nick stauskis n i k. Yeah, it seems European.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he got drafted early, first round? Right? Was
Speaker 2: that Sacramento who took Nick Stauss Yeah? Yeah, obviously Michigan State,
Speaker 2: he's a sharp Michigan Oh, Michigan Okay, oops, Oh, Michigan
Speaker 2: State just lost to Indiana. Who and then Tom Izzo
Speaker 2: was set to I think surpassed Bob Knight for the
Speaker 2: Big Ten record for wins and Indiana beats Michigan State.
Speaker 6: Yes, well, and that Indiana job is going to be open, and.
Speaker 2: Yes it is. Yes, they're they're kicking Mike Woodson one
Speaker 2: of their own to the current call Bruce Pearl and
Speaker 2: double the salary guaranteed. No, Rick Patino, great, yeah, get
Speaker 2: Patino in there. Let's getting red, yeah and white and blue?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 14: Uh?
Speaker 2: Rob? And Argentina, Hi, Rob, Hey, Dan, how's it going?
Speaker 2: I'm good? How's Argentina today?
Speaker 12: Absolutely gorgeous? Eighty three degrees. I'm on the eleven floor
Speaker 12: of my apartment here overlooking what would be Central Park
Speaker 12: in New York. Just usually spectacular summer day.
Speaker 2: What do you do in Argentina?
Speaker 12: Listening to the Dan Patricks Show?
Speaker 2: Do you have a job? Ron?
Speaker 12: No, I'm robbed from q WES. Normally I'm down here
Speaker 12: for a couple of months for the for the winter,
Speaker 12: so it's just a place to be. I'm an Airbnb
Speaker 12: hobo anymore.
Speaker 2: It seems like, wait, but you left Key West to
Speaker 2: go to Argentina.
Speaker 12: I haven't lived in QS for about a year and
Speaker 12: a half. Now I've been on the road the whole time.
Speaker 2: Are you running from the law?
Speaker 12: I don't know yet. I didn't I didn't vote correctly, so.
Speaker 2: I don't know. All right, What do you have for me?
Speaker 12: Two things? I was going to call for a best
Speaker 12: of the weekend, but hearing that year off, I had
Speaker 12: to call today, especially because your meal today in Argentina
Speaker 12: is my favorite meal called Ojo de bf with Papa fritters,
Speaker 12: and you need a cup of Vino Tinto's. That's a
Speaker 12: ribbi with French fries and a red wine. And my
Speaker 12: best the weekend was going to be this On Sunday,
Speaker 12: I get to go to the largest stadium in South
Speaker 12: America to see the River Plate play, and I'm in
Speaker 12: the fifth row and I've got Kingles and I'm having
Speaker 12: The weekend hasn't started yet, and so I wanted to
Speaker 12: make Seaton a little jealous. And if you've got to
Speaker 12: come to Argentina and you've got to go to see
Speaker 12: the Boca Juniors, that village and that stadium is incredible.
Speaker 12: You've never seen people so excited for a team.
Speaker 2: How many does it seat?
Speaker 12: Eighty five thousand?
Speaker 2: All right, we'll have fun down there. Ron, Thanks for
Speaker 2: checking in, uh Luke and Charlotte. Hi, Luke, what's on
Speaker 2: your mind?
Speaker 5: Hey?
Speaker 15: Dan, I like your idea about the World versus USA
Speaker 15: All Star Game, and so I kind of I mocked
Speaker 15: up a couple of rosters and it's definitely a tale
Speaker 15: of star power over depth. For the World, you'd really
Speaker 15: have all the all the stars, donc Shay gillg just
Speaker 15: after Siakam in there, Jannis and the Joker, and then
Speaker 15: you got Wenby and b coming off.
Speaker 2: The bench and Beads on playing. Yeah, I can't have
Speaker 2: him playing now. He's barely playing for the Sixers, let
Speaker 2: alone playing in the All Star Game. But okay, Wemby,
Speaker 2: that sounds great, too great, And.
Speaker 15: Then it kind of goes off. You get the Wagners,
Speaker 15: maybe Dylan Brooks, R. J. Barrett, and the US kind
Speaker 15: of go with the Olympic team, the classic Steph braun
Speaker 15: kd Anthony Davis Tatum, and then it's a lot more depth.
Speaker 15: You can get Anthony Edwards, Donovan Mitchell, d book at
Speaker 15: a bio, Jalen Brown. So I think I think it's
Speaker 15: a pretty good discussion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know it's top heavy for the world, but
Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out, you know, the depth. Are
Speaker 2: the Wagners. Are they from Germany? Yes, they aren't from Yeah,
Speaker 2: well I know they were at Michigan, but I don't
Speaker 2: know if they were from Germany. Were they born in Germany?
Speaker 2: You have to be born in these places to be
Speaker 2: able to play.
Speaker 3: Do we get Canada, Yeah, Shay Gilgers, North America?
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, Mormon and Beads not on the
Speaker 9: international team because he played for the US and the
Speaker 9: Olympics this past summer.
Speaker 2: But he's from Cameroon.
Speaker 4: He's American.
Speaker 2: Well, we don't want him anyway, So he he's not
Speaker 2: healthy enough. The Wagners are from Berlin, Germany. Okay, we'll
Speaker 2: take the Wagners.
Speaker 4: Well, that's a drop off after the top fives.
Speaker 2: Say, all right, have you seen Wagner play?
Speaker 4: They can play. He's a good player, they can play.
Speaker 2: What about Polo Buno?
Speaker 4: Man, he's from Lake Seattle.
Speaker 2: That is true. Yeah, yeah, that's right he is. Okay,
Speaker 2: we don't get it. It sounded it did? I think
Speaker 2: if you sound international, we should get you. Hollo Buno.
Speaker 2: All right, let me take a break. We'll get to
Speaker 2: more phone calls coming up. We have Play of the
Speaker 2: Day up next here, Dan Patrick Shaw.

Speaker 14: Travis Kelsey game.
Speaker 2: Would he? Will he retire? Should he retire? Todd, I'll
Speaker 2: start with you, Travis Kelcey, Will he retire? Should he retire?
Speaker 8: He should call it a career, But I think he's
Speaker 8: going to give it a go at least one more year.
Speaker 2: Night Seaton. No and no, no, he's not retiring. And
Speaker 2: no he shouldn't retire, Marvin.
Speaker 4: No, for both? Why not all?
Speaker 6: He should retire.
Speaker 3: The business opportunities are endless now much upside the football.
Speaker 6: Uh, he will not retire. He'll do one more year.
Speaker 2: Okay. I don't want to say somebody should retire, but
Speaker 2: I think he will retire.
Speaker 6: Helps the game.
Speaker 2: I know you're right. I'm sorry. Okay, I'm sorry. I'm
Speaker 2: a conscientious objector there.
Speaker 3: If you're playing this game. And Okay, if Travis Kelsey
Speaker 3: called in and said, what's your opinion on it? Should
Speaker 3: I so he put it in your court.
Speaker 2: I would never tell somebody to retire or not retire.
Speaker 2: I there's too many athletes who I have met after
Speaker 2: the fact and then they retired either too early or
Speaker 2: they retired a year too late. And everybody says the
Speaker 2: same thing when it comes to you don't want to
Speaker 2: go out like that. What if you don't make the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl next year? You don't want to go out
Speaker 2: that way like you're chasing your tail. You go out
Speaker 2: when you think it's time to go out. Are you
Speaker 2: still enjoying it? Because if he says, look, I still
Speaker 2: want to go in there. I'd love being around the
Speaker 2: game and I want to do it one more year.
Speaker 2: But if you keep saying to yourself, well, you don't
Speaker 2: want to go out that way, that's not a good
Speaker 2: it's not a good barometer of keeping your uniform on.
Speaker 2: It's just non yeah yeah, time.
Speaker 8: And can you look at yourself in the mirror and
Speaker 8: say you're really able to give it your role and
Speaker 8: do it at a level that you're comfortable with associated
Speaker 8: with your name and whatever ego you may or may
Speaker 8: not have. Am I looking good out there enough where
Speaker 8: I belong out there, whether I want to play or not.
Speaker 8: If I don't have it quite anymore, I should step aside.
Speaker 2: Well, he's played in two hundred games. It's tied for
Speaker 2: twenty fifth all time among tight ends. Okay, it's a
Speaker 2: lot of games. First Ballot Hall of Famer among tight ends,
Speaker 2: Kelsey has eleven hundred eighty two receptions, Tony Gonzalez has
Speaker 2: thirteen fifty five. Jason Witten has twelve hundred and seventy three.
Speaker 2: Those are the only guys who have more reception. By
Speaker 2: the way, that's a sneaky number for Jason Witten, But
Speaker 2: Jason wits Witt in a Hall of Famer as well,
Speaker 2: and Tony Gonzalez of course the standard bearer with stats,
Speaker 2: but Travis Kelcey two hundred games if you combine the
Speaker 2: regular season in the postseason. Jason in Florida, Hi, Jason,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 16: Hey, good morning boys, Good morning. With Miles Garrett winning
Speaker 16: out of Cleveland and they need some offensive help and
Speaker 16: they're probably going to draft the court, so I after
Speaker 16: a wide receiver. I've got a couple of controversial ones.
Speaker 16: I mean, you may not want to deal T Higginson
Speaker 16: a first rounder to Cleveland, so ital makes sense to
Speaker 16: vote teams maybe Tyreek Hill, but again getting a first
Speaker 16: rounder from that team. They need offense, so that's what
Speaker 16: I would be looking to do far with them.
Speaker 2: Well, if I'm Cleveland, and this was brought up by
Speaker 2: my friend who's an NFL scout and said, you know,
Speaker 2: if Cleveland would be a great place to go if
Speaker 2: you want to go, and you could win, because they
Speaker 2: won last year or the previous year with Joe Flacco,
Speaker 2: so they do have the talent to be a playoff team.
Speaker 2: But if you're a quarterback, if you're Aaron Rodgers, I
Speaker 2: know that we look at Cleveland and go that's no
Speaker 2: man's land. You don't want to go there. But if
Speaker 2: you know that they have that potential to be a
Speaker 2: playoff team because they were a playoff team, would you
Speaker 2: go there? If your Kirk Cousins, would you go there?
Speaker 2: If your Sam Darnold would you go there? Is Cleveland
Speaker 2: going to take a quarterback up top? I don't think
Speaker 2: they're that far away. I would hate to give up
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett. But if you're giving up Miles Garrett, I
Speaker 2: think you're basically saying, we're hitting the reset button here
Speaker 2: and we'll get some draft picks here. But if I'm
Speaker 2: trading Miles Garrett to a team, chances are that team
Speaker 2: is already really good and he puts you over the top. Therefore,
Speaker 2: the draft picks I'm getting are going to be at
Speaker 2: the end of the first round. It's not like you're trading,
Speaker 2: you know, to Tennessee where you know you're going to
Speaker 2: get a good draft pick. The Lions are drafting twenty eighth. Okay,
Speaker 2: can you get talent there, yes, but impact players you
Speaker 2: know you got a far better chance in the top ten.
Speaker 2: And I think that's that's the tricky part with the Browns.
Speaker 2: If you do trade him, here's a guy who wants
Speaker 2: to win. He's in his prime, and boy, if you
Speaker 2: could hold on to him for a couple of years,
Speaker 2: if you're that close. If not, then I'm gonna pull
Speaker 2: the band aid off. Kevin O'Connell, Viking's head coach. What
Speaker 2: are they doing with Sam Darnold? Will he tell us?
Speaker 2: I will try? Also Heidi Gardner, one of the stars
